Really interesting podcast. I enjoyed every episode.
I couldn’t wait to hear this story .. Rita is a. Interesting character and was so flamboyant but the narrator voice was weird and she sounded bored and uninterested so it did not generate interest on what is such a colorful story … I gave up
Very poorly created. I would rather an unbiased view of a situation. Don’t push your personal agenda!
I am 20 min into season three, and it is hard to focus on the story because the narrator’s has a weird cadence. I honestly thought it was a reboot or something. I enjoyed the previous seasons, but I’m not sure I’m going to make it through this one. Please don’t use her again, at least not without fixing the issue.
The plot was great. I listened because I’ve traveled through Dixon, IL. However, 8 episodes was too many and the narrator was often difficult to listen to.
